Drop-in replacements for hard-to-source legacy OEM vacuum systems with matched performance, identical footprints, and fast, no-hassle installation. When your trusted vacuum or cryogenic equipment reaches end-of-life, finding an exact replacement can be frustrating, especially for discontinued OEM systems like the Edwards CTI SC-Air, and 1020 compressors. At SynSysCo, we specialize in engineering one-to-one compatible alternatives for legacy systems, so you can replace outdated units without costly redesigns, extended downtime, or mismatched performance.
Why Choose a SynSysCo Replacement or Alternative?
- Footprints – Our drop-in replacements fit the same physical area as your existing equipment. That means no re-piping, no re-wiring, and no structural modifications.
- Spec-Matched Performance – We match and typically improve upon your original system’s performance, from pumping speed to power draw, so you get a seamless swap without operational compromises.
- Fast Installation – Minimize downtime with solutions that integrate directly into your existing setup.
- Serviceability Built In – Unlike some OEM legacy systems with costly proprietary parts, SynSysCo designs emphasize readily available components and ease of maintenance.
OMNI® Helium Compressors – Filling the Edwards CTI Gap
With popular Edwards CTI-Cryogenics compressors like the SC-Air, SC-Water, and 8200 series being phased out, or having extended lead times, many labs, fabs, and OEMs are left wondering: What’s a cryopump to do without its matching compressor?
Our OMNI® Helium Compressors are drop-in replacements that can power multiple cryogenic pumps from different manufacturers on the same tool, at the same time.
Advantages of OMNI® Helium Compressors:
- Drive pumps from multiple OEMs simultaneously
- Updated technology for better efficiency and reliability
- Proven ruggedness for industrial, R&D, and high-vacuum environments
